Among the myriad of on-line tools at my disposal, one I lean on heavily is Gchat. And in that circle is a bunch of folks I bounce ideas off. And what do you know? There stand two of my Crossword Jesuses: Frank Longo and Patrick Berry. I routinely ask them if an entry is legitimate and/or if a clue works. Usually, they're in agreement with my good/bad ideas. But, at times, they give me conflicting information. Frank is usually the more, uh, liberal with entries. He can be convinced that anything might be legitimate. Patrick, on the other hand, is very strict. Not in a dictionary: no good. Not much web support: no way. It's fascinating to see their two answers side by side in chat windows, especially when they disagree. I imagine they are having their own IM, and have decided that as crosswording gods, they're going to make my puzzle-making mortal life miserable. Like I'm a character in my own Greek tragedy. Good times.
